Puff Pastry Chocolate Flowers

Ingredients: to brand half dozen roses                                              

• 1 canvas of Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, thawed
• 2 carmine apples (I used carmine delicious)
• juice of one-half lemon
• 1 tablespoon of flour, to sprinkle the counter
• 3 tablespoons of apricot preserve
• cinnamon 
• powdered carbohydrate for decorating (optional)

Preparation time: about xx minutes to prepare, addition 45 minutes to bake
Directions:
1. Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature if you lot haven't done together with thus yet. It should receive got nearly 20-30 minutes.
2. Prepare a bowl one-half filled alongside H2O together with the lemon juice. Cut the apples inwards half, take the centre together with cutting the apples inwards paper-thin slices, every bit shown inwards my picture. Leave the peel together with thus it volition give the carmine color to your roses. Right away, house the sliced apples inwards the bowl together with thus that they won't alter color.
3. Microwave the apples inwards the bowl for nearly 3 minutes, to brand them slightly softer together with slow to roll.  If you lot prefer, you lot tin every bit good simmer the apple tree slices alongside the H2O inwards a minor pan (on the stove). The apple tree slices should live cooked only plenty to curvature without breaking. If they break, you lot bespeak to laid upward them a lilliputian more.
4. Unwrap the puff pastry over a build clean together with lightly floured counter. Using a rolling pivot stretch the dough into a rectangular sort of nearly 12 x ix inch (30 x 22 cm). Cut the dough inwards half dozen strips, each nearly 2 x ix inch (5 x 22 cm).
5. In a bowl, house 3 tablespoons of apricot save alongside 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for nearly 1 infinitesimal (or warm upward on the stove) together with thus that the save volition live easier to spread. Spread a sparse layer of save on each strip of dough.
6. Preheat the oven to 375º F (190 º C). Drain the apples.

8. Fold upward the bottom piece of occupation of the dough.
9. Starting from 1 end, carefully gyre the dough, keeping the apple tree slices inwards place. Seal the border at the end, pressing alongside your finger, together with house inwards a regular muffin cup. No bespeak to grease the muffin mold if it's silicone. Otherwise, brand certain to grease alongside butter together with flour (or spay).

10. Do the same for all half dozen roses. Bake at 375 º F (190 º C) for nearly 40-45 minutes, until fully cooked.

NOTES: Make certain the pastry is fully cooked on the within earlier removing the roses from the oven! If later the commencement thirty minutes the apples start to give the sack on top, deed the pan to a lower rack of the oven together with complete baking. You tin every bit good encompass loosely alongside aluminum foil for these final 10-15 minutes, to avoid burning the top.


These are best eaten correct later baking, when yet warm together with crisp.
